Raspberry Edinburgh Gin Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:46 | Winning time: 5m 51.39s

Lord Condi^v¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 106| CD

11/2

Capped his consistent recent spell with a win in 13-runner handicap hurdle over C&D and back on his game when fourth over fences here last time. One to consider.

Form: 32-2184

Western Rules^b³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Lyall Hodgins⁽⁷⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 105| D

33/1

Most recent efforts have lacked spark and though dangerous to completely rule now 12 lb below his last winning mark, others are more persuasive.

Form: 9P70P-8

Printing Dollars^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 103| BF| D

16/5

Fairly useful hurdler who, having left Warren Greatrex, made a pleasing chasing debut when second at this course 18 days ago. Big player from lenient mark returned to hurdling.

Form: 47840-2

Southern Girl^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 99| D

18/1

Expensive point winner who offered some encouragement over hurdles first 3 starts but has gone the wrong way since, including in 2 completed starts over fences. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 2P0-P5F

Pakie's Dream^v¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 98| D

11/1

Has been struggling over fences and return to hurdling was no better last time. Becoming well handicapped, though and visor goes back on, so worth a market check.

Form: F7-F2P6

Princess Ruby^h⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 98

6/1

Going the right way over hurdles and this further step up in trip is likely to benefit her, so she's very much one to consider for a stable who does that at this track.

Form: 34-633

Petite Rhapsody^h1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 89

25/1

Modest form to date over hurdles but longer trip could bring more out of him now handicapping, so not without a chance.

Form: 00-3754

Late Date^p³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 89| CD

25/1

Has been out of sorts for a while and, while his latest fifth over C&D was a bit more encouraging, he's still hard to recommend.

Form: PPPP-P5

Doldrum Bay^t1¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Craig Nichol| T: D W Whillans| OR: 87| D

11/1

Poor maiden hurdler who passed a few tiring rivals when second at this course on chasing debut 17 days ago but isn't certain to back it up returned to hurdling.

Form: PP13/52

Golden Chancer^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Alain Cawley| T: D Bourke| OR: 87| BF| CD

4/1

Cheekpieces fitted when gaining his first win in 14-runner handicap hurdle over C&D and followed it with another solid showing here, so likely to be on the premises again.

Form: 303-612

Astute Boy^p,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: R P McLernon| T: R M Smith| OR: 84

11/1

Remains winless over jumps (0-20) but offered a bit more encouragement when third over fences at this course last time. Could take a hand if he can replicate that back over small obstacles.

Form: P-42943

Zara's Universe^p⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: J Kington| T: A Crook| OR: 83

28/1

Exceeded expectations when runner-up on handicap debut at Market Rasen in June but failed to back it up at the same course last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 9745-28

Forecasts

Printing Dollars (16/5), Golden Chancer (4/1), Lord Condi (11/2), Princess Ruby (6/1), Celtic Tara (10/1), Doldrum Bay (11/1), Pakie's Dream (11/1), Astute Boy (11/1), Southern Girl (18/1), Late Date (25/1), Petite Rhapsody (25/1), Zara's Universe (28/1), Western Rules (33/1)

PRINTING DOLLARS made an excellent start for this yard over fences recently and is potentially thrown-in on old form, so he gets the nod back over hurdles. In-form Golden Chancer looks in line for another bold showing and Princess Ruby is a notable handicap debutant.
